My guess is they didn't sell to well, given they were the same price they are offering the LotG and Kinetics for this time. I'm hoping that these sell well enough to set a new price point, which would hopefully reduce the price of those sets. If they got the yellow sets down to 100-120 for a set, I'd buy a few, but 400 hits me at a close enough point for the high end rares.

We technically don't have a Cyber Monday Sale. Nothing new will be added on Monday. (...I got quite a few too many chuckles when I said "Cyber"...., so Black Friday became the focus.
).

I'm also having a problem adding a new account. I pick "create new account" with the "link to ncsoft master account" box checked. I log into my ncsoft account. I get a prompt with just a box for a username. I put in a username, and it tells me "Passwords must be...." as if my password is somehow not okay, but it wasn't even prompting me for a password.

Ah, so it turns out it was because my EXISTING password was only letters, so it was rejecting my password on my master account when trying to add a new game account. That's really non-intuitive. Also, restricting passwords to 13 characters is lame and insecure.|

Hmm, has anyone pointed out yet that if you buy the pieces of the Kinetic Combat set individually, it comes out cheaper than the set price? (388 vs 400)

Oh, thanks for clearing that up. The initial announcement made it sound like there would be two sales. Glad to know, guess I can browse this sale a little closer, then.

It won't be available for this sale due to technical difficulties but it will be offered soon with the same pricing.

Also I notice the cost of the Windfall and EXP boosters end in a 3. No other items on the market end in a 3... or rather any number that isn't 0.
With that being said, to break even you'd have to buy 10 of these to get back your Paragon Points ending in a 0.
If it was a 2 it would be 5 buys, 5 would be 2 buys, 6 would be 5, 7 would also be 10.
So clever marketing ploy?

It's just market testing. If it proves successful then it'll likely be a return item.

$5 aprx was the price I always felt super boosters should be at, to not qualify as a Ripoff. I was greatly pleased to see one finally at this price, so scooped it up right away, even though there are only a handful of things I want in it.|

A shame it's only a black friday thing. I'd certainly buy other full booster packs if they came down for that price.

Yes, Z has already said in this very thread that the Numina's Convalescence, when they fix the bug and put it in the store, will be on sale at 400PP for the set.|

I would also not qualify Basilisk's Gaze, a Hold set, as a melee-centric one.
